First Aid III –Unconscious
First Thing to Do
when you arrive at an injury situation
Survey the scene to ensure there are no hazards that may
harm you
First Aid III –Unconscious
If the person is unconscious Good Samaritan Laws state:
If they are unconscious, consent is implied.
You do NOT need the victim’s permission to help them if they are unconscious.
If it is a child who is underage, they are in a life threatening situation and the parent/guardian is
nowhere to be found, consent is also implied.

THE REASON THAT CPR IS IMPORTANT – THE HEART MAY STILL BE FAINTLY BEATING
To restart the heart would usually require an electric shock. ... If someone without a pulse appears to recover and regain a pulse through CPR then the chances are that their heart was still beating faintly.
The only effective treatment for SCA is to deliver an electrical shock using a device called a defibrillator to restart beating with a normal rhythm.
First Aid III –Unconscious
Some 350,000 cases occur each year outside of a hospital, and the survival rate is less than 12 percent. CPR can double or triple the chances of survival.
I will take that

Summary• If a victim is unconscious and not breathing have someone call 9 – 1 – 1 and begin CPR.
• If you are alone perform four sets of CPR then call 9 – 1 – 1 .
• CPR only provides blood circulation; it does not restart a heart. The victim’s chance for recovery is greatly improved if CPR is performed and an AED is used within 5 minutes of sudden cardiac arrest.
• Only an AED checks the heart rhythm and can send an electric shock to the heart to try to restore a normal rhythm.
